And shouldn't you be in bed?<BR/><BR/>I have a wild theory that fits with this though. Remember the movie TRADING PLACES? The two corrupt old investors/brothers make a bet that a bum like Eddie Murphy could/couldn't run the company well, that it was "nurture, not nature"? Or vice versa.<BR/><BR/>My idea is that Barack Obama and William Eyres, over a very excellent six pack of German beer, made a bet, three beers in. The bet was that Obama could fool the populace and win the Demo nomination for president. Six beers in, Obama took the bet. The bet was for a dollar.<BR/><BR/>Whew. Won the nomination, ding-dong-the-witch-is-dead. Now what??? <BR/><BR/>This time, it is getting serious: how about another bet, agreed to after, say, a large amount of cognac has been consumed?<BR/><BR/>Naw, that would be too far-fetched.Bruce Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140478955080857310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206866042338169907.post-85811412786200020192008-10-26T13:19:00.000-05:002008-10-26T13:19:00.000-05:00Interesting.
